Last week, high tide was over 3 meters higher than low tide. That's the highest we've seen. It came right over the sand bank at the usual high tide shore and down into the ceviche shacks back farther on the beach. We've included a few comparison pictures.
On Tuesday night, we were the trivia champions at the Surf Shak once again, although with a new team. We were joined by Ewan, a young guy from Wales, Elizabeth who owns the Coco Loco Hostel on the Malecon, and Nathan, an expat from Chicago who's been living in Cuenca for the last 3 1/2 years. He comes to the coast for a couple of months each year. We're not sure that we want to win next week for fear of annoying all the local expats who play every week. We'll see.
It rained hard yesterday morning but that's the first time in about 2 weeks. The weather, while still hot and a mix of sun and clouds, has seemed a little less humid in March, which feels good. Not much else to tell, so a few pictures of Ewan, Anita and I after our latest win, the beach at normal and very high tide, and the main intersection of Canoa. Not even a stop sign.
Tonight is St. Patrick's Day so now that I know that I'm part Irish, we'll have to celebrate, probably at the Suki Bar for the 2nd year in a row. Maybe we're in a rut but it's a good rut.
